6-foot-4, 185-pound, the frame is large, long and wide. Starting to fill out, legs have strength to them, is bigger than you think. Currently ranked 94th in New England. A right-handed pitcher, the delivery has deception, with legs and arms coming at the hitter, is extremely tough to pick the ball up. The hands start high and drop down in side step rocker, work back up with power leg raise. The separation is on time, front glove needs to firm up and stay on target longer. Once this happens, the ability to get to outer half and to pitch downhill will improve. The arm action is a slightly longer on the backside to in on release. The fastball was clocked at 80-84 mph, when he’s on time, good sink to arm side, will create a ton of ground balls once he locks down the glove. The breaking ball was at 64-66 mph. The changeup was at 66-69 mph, fade and sink to it when he stays behind it. Times to the plate were at 1.6, could be slightly quicker. Showed to be aggressive attacking the catcher and loves to compete. Big time sleeper, high follow for me, receiving interests from Northeast Schools.

6-feet-4, 180 pounds, right-handed pitcher with a big frame with long limbs and room to build strength in lower half. Athletic delivery shows high power leg kick and creates deception with length. Ball comes out of high ¾ arm slot with good extension on the backside. The fastball is 79-82 mph with some arm side run when it’s down in the zone. The 2-seam fastball gets in on RHH. The breaking ball is 64-66 mph, with sweeping action. Change-up is 69-72 mph with ability to develop as an above average out pitch. Slide step delivery from stretch with runners on base, 1.31 seconds to the plate. Good 3 pitch mix, with gained strength and better use of lower half, someone to follow down the road. High follow for me.

At 6-foot-4, 165 pounds, has long arms and legs, has the body to put mass and weight on. The fastball comes at you out of a ¾ slot and with good sinking action to it. The arm action is long and loose, the velocity 74-76, locates well to glove side. Mechanics for the most part are good, repeats his delivery. Front-side drops at times and losses velocity and depth on his pitches. The curveball is 63-65 with side spin to it, when he stays behind it, has good depth to it. Changeup is a work in progress but with his arm action and athleticism should be able to develop this pitch. Times to the plate are from 1.25 to 1.41. Strength is a must, needs to get stronger. Will be interesting to see his progress over the next year. The body and the competitiveness are there.
